renewable energy sources

In this very informative and thought-provoking book, Augusta Goldin Reports on Technologies that are successfully tapping such diverified sources as wind, water, biomass, earth heat, and solar heat. Readers will discover how dairymen are producing methane from cow manure in anaerobic digesters, how some farmers are culturing fast-growing hybrid trees for combustion, and how others are raising genetically improved energy surarcane for liquid fuel. They will learn about photovoltaic installations and abour solar thermal towers that even now supply power to some utility companies.
